Final answer:
In 'Self-Reliance,' Emerson advocates for individualism and self-trust, encouraging people to think for themselves and resist societal conformity.
Explanation:
Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay "Self-Reliance" argues for the idea that people should think for themselves. He emphasizes the importance of individualism and warns against the adverse effects of conformity. "Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist," he famously stated, urging his readers to be true to their inner selves and not succumb to societal pressure or the "tyranny of the majority." Emerson's essay contains themes of personal integrity, self-trust, and the rejection of mediocrity, encouraging individuals to rely on their own instincts and values rather than seeking external approval or adhering to social norms. Hence, the correct answer to the student's question is B) people should think for themselves.

When hamlet first encountered the ghost what did he wonder?
When Hamlet first encountered the ghost, he questioned whether its intentions were wicked or charitable and sought to understand why it had returned from the dead. He was deeply troubled by the apparition and his encounter led to the revelation that his father was murdered by his uncle Claudius.
When Hamlet First Encountered the Ghost
When Hamlet first encountered the ghost, he wondered about the nature and the intent of the apparition before him. He questioned whether the ghost's intentions were wicked or charitable and why it had returned from the dead, asking it directly: "Be thy intents wicked or charitable, Thou com'st in such a questionable shape That I will speak to thee: I'll call thee Hamlet, King, father, royal Dane; O, answer me! Let me not burst in ignorance; but tell Why thy canoniz'd bones, hearsed in death, Have burst their cerements; why the sepulchre, Wherein we saw thee quietly in-urn’d, Hath op'd his ponderous and marble jaws To cast thee up again!". These lines clearly show Hamlet's urgent need for understanding the reason behind the ghost's unsettling return.
Furthermore, Hamlet refers to the ghost as "King, father, royal Dane," expressing his shock and awe at seeing the deceased king, his father, in a ghostly form. The Prince of Denmark is deeply troubled by the ghost's presence, evidenced by his attire looking "so piteous in purport" as if he had been loosed out of hell, and by his determination to unravel the mystery it presents.
Ultimately, the encounter with the ghost leads Hamlet to discover that his father's death was not due to a serpent's sting but was a murder committed by his own uncle, Claudius, who now wears the crown. This revelation propels the story forward and sets in motion Hamlet's quest for justice and revenge.
